Back in June, California Gov. Gavin Newsom made an incredible claim about homeless people in his state. Asked why the homeless population hadn’t declined when he was Mayor of San Francisco, Newsom said, “The vast majority (of San Francisco’s homeless people) also come in from — and we know this — from Texas. Just (an) interesting fact.”Newsom’s claim was discounted by the LA Times last month but Politifact decided to investigate independently. This week the least reliable fact-checker in the business agreed that Newsom’s statement was absurd, giving it a “Pants on Fire” rating.

When the Caleefourneeyah leftists start choking on the mess they have made, they will fade away and let Republicans come back in to leadership and clean it up. Then the cycle will start over again.

Newsome is a joke, and as far as I am concerned, the situation in Ca. is the nail in the coffin re: the bias in the media. Were Republicans involved in the horrendous state of the homeless and the potential health disaster (as well as the drugs coming over our s. border with a drug epidemic all over the U.S., and the evil trafficking of children and others) the Press would be all over it night and day, as they are for even the most MINOR Republican infraction. Instead it is the "nothing to see here folks--move on" theory of reporting. How these people in the Press can live with themselves is beyond me, but also, how can viewers and readers being presented with such obvious bias and selective reporting not look for another source. Is this how Venezuela hit the skids?

It's not absurd it was a lie. Gavin Newsom is a liar. We need to start calling him that. An idiot can be forgiven it because they don't know any better. Liars deserve no such consideration.
Gavin Newsom is a liar. I hope a homeless person bites him and then sits on his head. Feel free to add an "h" anywhere you'd like in the above sentence.

Newsom handsome? You must be looking at a still, retouched photo. Look at his face distorted with hate, when he talks, the ignorance, the arrogance. The man is ugly!

Newsom is the Democrat Brylcreem Man. Of course the Republicans have Mitt Romney.
California needs an intervention.

After 66 years as a Californian, I am now officially a North Carolinian! It is beautiful here and, fear not y'all, I have come to adopt your culture, not to infect you with California culture!
Goodbye Gavin, you can replace me with as many homeless people as you please!

It's not really a lie when you make something up and believe it yourself. It's called mental illness. Lizzy believed that her milky white skin and high cheekbones made her a Cherokee. Hillary really does flinch at firecrackers and popping corks after crossing that tarmac in Bosnia. Slick never had sex with another woman in his life. Obama? He's the poster boy.

Poster #2, I don't think it will ever come to that. Earlier this month in Seattle, the Primary elections every single Seattle councilmember up for election was re-elected. It seems the citizens of Seattle like the homeless, needles and rats everywhere. They haven't had the outbreaks of typhus yet, but give it time.

His claim doesn't make any sense.
Why would someone move from a state that has some of the bargain basement lowest housing prices to a city that has literally the highest cost of living in the country? Are they wanting to be "homeless" on purpose?

Newsom is Justin Trudeau on steroids. Neither of them have the sense that God gave earthworms. At least those things are productive and contribute value. Newsom does not. All he adds to anything is toxic waste hiding behind a pretty face.

Just the latest uber-liberal politician in charge of the collapse of California.

It is never the Progressives/Democrat's fault or responsibility, even when it is. They will lie, lie, lie to cover up for their own incompetence. To be fair, Gavin Newsom is not totally responsible. He had plenty of help from other Progressives/Democrats in his state creating this sorry state of affairs.

Gavin Newsome...he is a fag. Like Obarry, has kids as part of his beard.
Sorry to others who have that mental disorder...but to be a governor of Crackedupfornia, I guess its a prerequisite.
